The places we call home, the offices where we chase dreams, the cafés where conversations unfold – every space we inhabit silently shapes our well-being. Yet, how often do we pause to think about the materials that surround us? This World Health Day, Merino Industries turns the spotlight on a fundamental truth: the need to imbibe health-first elements into our furniture & homes — the ones that are as durable alongside being aesthetically pleasing for homeowners, interior designers & architects alike.
